Ansa Mobility, a division of Ansa Motors, has plans to expand its vehicle rental partnership with Europcar Mobility Group into Jamaica by November 2025.

Trinidad and Tobago Newsday shared details of the agreement, which also includes establishing a footprint in Guyana in January 2026.

The announcement was made on the night of October 7, during a cultural reception at The Samaan Estate in St Clair, where visiting regional Europcar executives and Ansa McAl leaders gathered for the opening of a two-day regional conference hosted in the twin-island republic for the first time.

Europcar is one of the world’s leading mobility brands, operating in more than 140 countries. The collaboration between Ansa Mobility and the Paris-based international car rental giant began almost a decade ago. “Over the years, our fleet has grown, our relationship has grown to the point where we can now expand across the Caribbean,” Dorian Neckles, Ansa Mobility general manager, Mobility Solutions, told Newsday. “We continue to look for opportunities, so in the near future we can continue to invest in our fleet.”

The general manager added that the partnership has evolved beyond traditional vehicle rental, as “we try to ensure that the customer experience and journey are premium”. Both Ansa Motors and its parent, Ansa McAl Group, provide support to Europcar’s operation in Trinidad and Tobago by carrying one of the widest fleets in the market, and vehicles of the highest standards. That fleet includes various hybrid models, including the eco-friendly Honda City hybrid, Mistubishi, and luxury brands such as Mini, Jaguar, Land Rover, and BMW.

‘An evolving story’

According to Ansa McAl, the partnership represents part of its broader strategy to redefine mobility in TT and the region—a shift from vehicle sales toward flexible transport and leasing solutions supported by digital systems and fleet management tools.

Jean-Marc Mouttet, automotive sector head, described the expansion as the next chapter in an evolving story.

“Our Ansa Mobility division was created to reimagine how people move—from short-term rentals to long-term leasing and chauffeur-driven services,” he said. “At the centre of this vision is Europcar, a global leader in mobility with a presence in over 140 countries. Europcar brings world-class service, technology and innovation to our division, allowing us to deliver international standards of experience right here in TT and Barbados. And we’re just getting started.”

For Mouttet, the move into Jamaica and Guyana is deliberate, since both economies are experiencing rapid development and citizens now have an appetite for modern mobility options. “This partnership is not static. It is evolving, gaining momentum and setting new standards together. ANSA Motors, Ansa Mobility and Europcar are creating a future where mobility is smarter, more connected and more customer-focused than ever before,” Newsday quotes him.

Growing regional demand

In 2016, Ansa Motors secured the Europcar franchise for Trinidad and Tobago, introducing an international rental brand to that market. A year after, the group extended its reach to Barbados. The Ansa McAL executives shared that the decision to move northward and to the south of the region reflects growing demand and confidence in the model’s success.

Adam Sabga, Ansa McAl’s group chief operating officer, told attendees the partnership symbolises how legacy businesses can evolve while preserving their core principles.

“Our history as a steward of esteemed global brands is rooted in value creation for our shareholders, partners, employees and customers.”
